Funds for this work will be from account number 471-218- 536-033.13. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed work authorization with Camp, Dresser, McKee, Inc. as presented. Commissioner Eggert asked whether we used emergency engineering services in the last year, and Mr. McCain responded that we spent in the range of $5,000 Commissioners Eggert and Adams led discussion regarding the number of operators to be trained and the estimated costs. Mr. McCain could not give specific numbers of operators but the proposal is for Camp, Dresser & McKee, Inc., (CDM) to provide training in two areas, B.iosolids Treatment and Disposal and Effluent Treatment and Disposal. CDM will prepare lesson plans for the other areas of the training program and the training will be done within the Department, including refresher courses. Mr. McCain advised that most of the training has been provided at the TREEO Center in Gainesville, and that has become quite expensive. Commissioner Adams felt we can send them to Indian River Community College or Brevard Community College for a lot less. She preferred to see more details and a comparison of course works and costs. She felt there must be textbooks and manufacturers' instruction books available. Commissioner Adams asked about the monthly and quarterly reports, and Mr. McCain responded that staff supplies monthly reports. CDM makes quarterly inspections and prepares quarterly reports. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously deferred this item and directed staff to present a comparison of costs for operator training as presented in the Wastewater Treatment Plant Continuing Services proposed work authorization with- Camp, Dresser & McKee, Inc.
